6.3.7.8 DeviceTemperaturStatusChanged
To prevent damage on the hardware due to high temperatures, the camera is equipped
with an emergency shutdown. The DeviceTemperatureStatusTransitionSelector (Catego-
ry: Device Control) feature allows you to select different thresholds for temperatures:
NormalToHigh: freely programmable value
HighToExeeded: xed value (camera shutdown if exceeded)
ExeededToNormal: freely programmable value, temperature for error-free re-ac-
tivation of the camera.
In the DeviceTemperatureStatusTransition feature, the temperatures for the programma-
ble temperature transitions are set.
The Event EventDeviceTemperatureStatusChanged is always generated when Device-
TemperatureStatus changes.
If the temperature rises above the value set at HighToExeeded, the DeviceTemperature-
Exceeded feature is set to True, the image recording is stopped, and the LED is set to red.
For further use, the camera must disconnected from the power supply after cooling down
or a device reset should be carried out.
The sufcient cooling is recognizable when the event DeviceTemperatureStatus- Changed
(Device Temperature < ExceededToNormal) is output.

freely programmable value

6.4 Software
6.4.1 Baumer GAPI
Baumer GAPI stands for Baumer “Generic Application Programming Interface”. With this
API Baumer provides an interface for optimal integration and control of Baumer cameras.
This software interface allows changing to other camera models.
It provides interfaces to several programming languages, such as C, C++ and the .NET™
Framework on Windows
®
, as well as Mono on Linux
®
operating systems, which offers the
use of other languages, such as e.g. C# or VB.NET.

6.4.2 3
rd
Party Software
Strict compliance with the GenICam™ standard allows Baumer to offer the use of 3
rd
Party Software for operation with cameras of this series.
